For those who have followed this blog since I began 3 years ago, I am here to tell you that yes, affiliate marketing works. What's even better is there really is no ceiling on what you can earn with affiliate marketing. Some say you need a blue print or a plan to follow. I am not so sure. Most of what I have created from my intuition has far exceeded any blue print that I have followed.
I have been told so many things about what will work and what won't work til it's mind boggling. There is always the next best thing to come along and tempt us. I have been told you must have a list. I have been told you must have a website. I have been told you can't make money on Squidoo. I have been told that to have anything, you must work hard. So many rules.
When I first started affiliate marketing, I believed all these things. The fact is, most of them just aren't true. What I am trying to say is to follow your own path and let go of what everyone else is doing. I had a little success in the beginning, but it wasn't until I let go of these beliefs of others that I truly began to see success.
It really is up to you and your degree of commitment and how willing you are to learn from yes, your mistakes. Last month my website was hacked and it is just gone! Strange thing happened, I focused on Squidoo as opposed to trying to figure out what I wanted to do about the site. First time ever, my income generated from Squidoo was right at 8 grand. Not bad for a site I was told would never make me any money huh?
I would say the biggest secret to my success has been to turn those obstacles in my life into opportunities. I am rebuilding my site and I see a much bigger picture with it this time around. I really can't wait!
If you stick this affiliate marketing thing out, be prepared, all the things you will learn, all the people that you meet and of course the money you can make will just blow you away! Yes affiliate marketing is for real and yes it works!
